Import Tips
• Verify block weight exceeds 4.5 kg per unit and include processing intent declaration to avoid reclassification as standard fillets
• Obtain FDA prior notice and ensure compliance with section 609 if any shrimp contamination risk, plus HACCP plans for seafood safety
• Provide commercial invoice detailing species (pickerel), skin-off status, and frozen block specs to prevent customs disputes
